Let’s be candid: When you first get married, the honeymoon lasts awhile after the trip — you have no problem being all over each other. When you add a baby into the mix, you’re tired — all the time. And that’s only the beginning of the problems surrounding sex after having a baby.

Nit only are you exhausted, but as the woman, you’re likely still healing from birth for quite some time. Your hormones are up & down like a roller coaster. You have little time to take a shower. The leftover baby weight and stretch marks don’t exactly make you feel confident to pursue him in the bedroom either.

As the guy, seeing your wife give birth might have bothered you a little. And with your wife’s potentially fluctuating hormones – especially if postpartum depression is in the mix – she might not be the nicest person to you right now, making it difficult to woo her into bed.
